Indulge in Flavor: Loaded Shredded Beef French Fries Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck roast
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 whole onion, quartered
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 2 whole bay leaves
• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup crumbled queso fresco
• 1 whole jalapeño, sliced
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 to taste sour cream
• 1 to taste olive oil
• 1 to taste salt
• 1 to taste pepper

Instructions

1. In a slow cooker, combine the beef chuck roast, minced garlic, onion, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
2. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices for added flavor. Set aside.
3. While the beef is cooking, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips to create fries. Toss the fries in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
5. Once the fries are baked, take them out of the oven and layer the shredded beef evenly on top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Remove from the oven and top with crumbled queso fresco, sliced jalapeños, and chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle with sour cream for a creamy finish.
